That applies to many things in life. The more you do it, the better you'll become at it. If you spend a lot of your free time shooting stuff, you're going to get good at shooting. If you spend a lot of your free time golfing, you're going to get good at golfing. Maybe not professional level, but still very proficient.
Yes, and no.
Consider playing the guitar. If you practice constantly, you'll probably improve. But just as important as how much you practice (probably more important, actually), is how you practice. Without studying appropriate resources and analysing your playstyle, your practice can be very inefficient, and often people will learn bad habits (and then struggle to overcome those bad habits the with the brute force application of more practice time). Consequently I see people who've played the guitar for years and have poor physical technique and no understanding of music theory. Playing Smoke on the Water for hours every day will probably not equip you to cover, say, Joe Satriani's discography.
No amount of AR rushing and pummelling will make you into a good player, even if you do it to Inheritor. Effective practice is the application of insight and self-analysis, not just time.
In general it's not easy for everyone to improve hand/eye coordination. And reflexes do slow with age.
